social media war criminal. she/her/comrade.

said this a million times but people dont LIKE victims. you like the idea of being a heroic male punching bad rapists and saving the innocent damsel in distress from danger. youre uninterested in doing the brutally difficult work of supporting traumatized survivors

maybe my lexapro dose is too high to feel fear, but you don’t hint at ”maybe” using the insurrection act a month before elections if you are actually gonna do it. you just do it. you hint at it because scare tactics is all you have.

absolutely fucking incredible news for public health in canada that a safer supply organization successfully fought the constitutionality of drug possession trafficking laws for not providing any legal way to operate. selfless life-saving work that is actually being identified and respected as such.

But in her judgment on their constitutional challenge on Tuesday, Murray concluded that a non-medicalized safer supply program is urgently needed to save lives.

And with no legal source of drugs available for such a program, and no legal "safety valves" in the CDSA that would support setting one up, she found such a program "is legally and practically incapable of being exempted."

She said part of the CDSA "unjustifiably infringes" on two parts of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and deprives DULF members the "right to life and security of the person."

She gave Parliament six months to find a way to allow for a "pathway to non-medicalized safer supply."

honestly crying about this. been a long time since i've read good political news. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

it is an unalloyed good for the world for the US to be humbled and weakened militarily. the dumbest fascists gutting the military's senior officers is good actually. they should start court martialing everyone who might secretly be woke just to be sure.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

Hey everyone. Things have been tough around here and they are about to get worse. I’ll probably need to make a bigger ask soon, but right now I’m asking for some help covering essentials. Next post has what I’m trying to cover. PP: @StellaSacco CA: $sacc No Venmo

claiming that a cabal of wealthy israelis with dual citizenship own all of congress is antisemitic. pointing out that AIPAC dumps millions of dollars into individual congressional races to smear progressives as antisemitic isn't. conflating those two positions only helps the person with the first.

there are obviously antisemites. they are going to adopt language of anti-zionism and anti-genocide movements. the solution is not to cry about "antisemitism on the left" it's to be clear and consistent about what actually is antisemitic because they get cover from labeling everything as such

🚨 Joaquin Castro will introduce tomorrow the "STOP THE SETTLEMENTS ACT", the first ever bill which would ban trade with all illegal Israeli settlements, as well as impose sanctions on any foreign entity or individual which supports settlements in any way after Sept 30th 2026. It has 40 cosponsors.
